Shaheed not close to Seahawks extension, set to test free agency

Rashid Shaheed, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver, is not close to a contract extension and will test the free‑agent market on Monday, Adam Schefter reports.

Adam Schefter reports that Rashid Shaheed is not close to a contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks and will enter the free‑agent market on Monday. The wide receiver, who was acquired in a trade that gave the Saints 4th‑ and 5th‑round picks, is expected to test the market as the free‑agency season opens.

With the Seahawks likely to be outbid on several key players, Shaheed’s departure could leave a gap in the receiving corps.
